• You can make the spring rolls ahead of time and freeze them. Just thaw them before frying.
• If you don't have plum jam, you can substitute it with apricot jam or sweet chili sauce.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover spring rolls can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, place the spring rolls in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until heated through.
• Serve the chicken spring rolls as an appetizer or as part of a meal. They pair well with a side of steamed rice or a fresh salad.
